Lugosi Dracula

[fusciart]

Well out of all the conversion kits I've worked on this was by far the easiest and most fun. Thanks for lookin!

[GEOFF MARTIN]

..Wow...what a difference.....FANTASTIC...

[fusciart]

Thank you master Geoff!

The conversion kit really improves this model greatly, nice work, nice moody photos also.

LOVE IT... looks like it was what it was MEANT to look like...

where did this head come from Cult? or the Moebius kit?

[Stewart Jackson]

I absolutely have to agree, that is the best I've ever seen this classic look! The replacement head is perfect!!

Fantastic job!! I had never seen that replacement head, really makes a major difference.

Ditto that !
That's the head that should have been on this kit in the 60's!!
Very Spooky...Great Job and like malachite said," nice moody photos"
Cheers

Awesome! That conversion makes a huge difference.

[Spockr]

Great work Rich! The skin tones and eye work are excellent and your photographic skills get better and better every time you post a new work. Nice work of capturing the scene. Did you build yourself a light box?

Agree with everybody that the head sculpt lends so much to this model. I really liked that C.O.P. even included the detail of the moles on Lugosi's face. Its a great conversion kit and worth every (reasonable) penny and you really did it justice.

[Night-Owl]

Well done Rich!

[fusciart]

Thanks for all the replies.

malachite - I agree. I was lucky to get some decent pics.

XactoHazard - Thanks. The replacement head is the COPP Dracula #2. http://copp.headplug.com/

Stewart Jackson - Thank you. That means a lot.

zibbazabba - I know. It really does make a difference. It definitely brings the kit to another level.

dj53 - Thanks. I took about 20 photos and those were the best of the lot.

Brent - I agree. Thanks.

Spockr - Thanks you sir. I had a light source to the left and to the right. I also had the blue starlighting Phantom Footlight as a third light source. I took a piece of white plotter paper ( 42" x 50") and taped it to my window and let it roll out on across the table. Mixed with the natural sunlight and the electric lighting I got some nice variations. Thank you for the compliment my friend.

Night-Owl - Thank you bud. I had used the putty you recommended and I really dig it. Thanks for the advice.

Really nice! That replacement head is remarkable!

Curious, does anyone know if that head will work on the Broadway Dracula kit?

Although the two models are 1/8th the Moebius is around 9'' high and the Aurora/Revell barely 8'' high, my revell also has the replacement head and side by side with Broadway Drac there is a visible difference between the two models.

Great job and it looks so much better with the replacement head. I have to pull out my kit when I get some others done and I think this fairly well convinces me to get a replacement head as well.

WOOOOOOWWWW!!! The Luminators version of this was my first kit ever. I've never seen it look better. love the likeness on the new head, as well as the nameplate. The reds and greens in the skin tone (as well as the groovy blue lighting) make it look like a Basil Gogos piece. Fantastic!!!

[Dale Stringer]

I recently bought one of those sets from Tom at C.O.P. - excellent head sculpt as noted- fine job done by yourself on this one - great!

[fusciart]

Rob P. - Thanks. I'm not sure if it fits but I think malachite cleared that up for us.

malachite- Thanks for clearing that up!

RKoenn - Thank you. You should try to get one. It's worth it.

bishopsix - Thank you you for the compliment. I love Gogos.

Dale Stringer - I totally agree. The replacement head really makes the kit more realistic.

[Mark M]

Beautiful! Take a well deserved bow, because the paint work you did here is just superb!

[TRENDON]

That came out great.
